Storm surge is the deadliest when it comes to impacts seen from a hurricane. The Gulf Coast of Florida from Tampa Bay down to Naples and Bonita Beach are being forecasted by the National Hurricane Center to see 10-15 feet of storm surge.

When Hurricane Milton reaches Florida's Gulf Coast on Wednesday, the immense and powerful storm could generate “life-threatening” storm surge of up to 15 feet.

Millions of people along Florida’s Gulf Coast are bracing for Hurricane Milton, a historically powerful storm that is expected to make landfall as soon as Wednesday evening and wallop a region still reeling from Hurricane Helene.
